Hubba Hubba

Im a little late on Posting this but better late then never. You see our computer broke and we have been without any contact through computer with mankind for about a week. That is until I secretly stole my moms laptop without asking her because she had just left and I was carrying 25 bags as well as Presley to my car and the last thing I wanted to do was put everything down and call and ask. So I just took it. Swiped it right from the side of her bed. My mom has probably used this laptop 2 times in the last 4 years. So I know it wont be missed and if it would make you all feel better I will ask her tomorrow if it is okay If I keep it until our computer comes back from the shop. Okey dokey?

Anyways back to "THE" post. My friends, Zach and I, along with our Parents, would like to announce that we have been married for 4 years. Four glorious, fun filled, amazing years(as my father says every year him and my mother have been married).

(awe, arent we cute?)
(Connie I some how sorta stole this from your photo blog. Please dont hate me. Remember Im computer less, I cant find my CD and apparently a pathological thief as of late)

Its true and we celebrated it just like any other person who is madly in love did. We grilled up some porkchops and rented a redbox. Our Anniversary was the day before school started here in Tempe/ Mesa town so the odds of finding a sitter were slim to none and it just so happened my mother had a prior engagement and Zach and I are PARTAY animals so we probably wouldnt have even come home for hours upon hours. It was perfect though. Zach, Presley and myself. Zach and I have certainly accomplished a lot in 4 years and I cant wait to see what the future has in store for us.

In honor of our anniversary let me tell you "our" story.

July 2o05, I had recently graduated highschool and was attending game night with my cousin and her friends. I felt COMPLETELY out of place because some of these people were older then I was and I thought for sure they would look down at my for being a measly 18 year old who just broke out of highschool. We had gathered in the Burnham's house and were waiting on a few more people so we could start our usual game of Signs when in walks Zach. I took one look at him and seriously started sweating profusely. He was tall, dark and handsome. Not really the type I had gone for in the past but ever so good looking. Im pretty sure he didnt even talk to me. I just played the gamed in fear hoping he wouldnt sit beside me or ask me a question where I would probably make a complete idiot out of my self. By pure miracle I ended up sitting next to him during the game. We talked a little but it was more him telling me how I looked so much like this girl he knew and how he needed to take a picture of us together so he could send it to her. After that night I probably saw Zach 2 more times. I moved out of my parents briefly and kinda stopped going to game night because there was this other guy and we had started hanging out at the house I was living in with my cousin who was technically his friend. You know whats even better is I cannot even remember this guys name for the life of me.

Well fast forward to October 31 2005- I was dressed as a pirate and headed to the YSA Halloween dance at the Wright House and was meeting this "other" guy there. I danced with friends and was having tons of fun when Zach totally catches me eye. He came up to me and we talked for awhile and that was it. As the Dance was winding down and I was about to head to my car Zach comes running up to me and asked if he could have my number for a date sometime. I told him our course and started giving it to him when he said he had actually already got it from a friend of ours and had hoped that was okay. A few days later Zach called to ask me on a date. I nervously replied yes. That weekend we went on our first date. The anticipation of him coming to pick me up was more than I could bare. I was literally laying on my bedroom floor with the fan blasted while sipping cold water in the middle of November. I was SOOO nervous. I almost threw up. After he picked me up we headed to Collins house and did an activity where you were given certain items and you had to make up a song about them. Well we got a turtle and some other things and we came up with new words to "Part of Your World" from the little mermaid. It was so much fun and totally out of Zach's comfort zone. He will never fess up to being musical. After that date Zach and I saw each other everyday until we got married 9 months later.

Now 4 years later he still gives me butterflies. I get so excited for him to come home. I love being around him. He is absolutely amazing. He is a wonderful dad and Presley just adores him. He is so funny and keeps us always laughing. I love him so much and I am so grateful to have him in my life for always and forever.
